Review: Just what I needed - These reads works just fine for me, all the time..Ive reorderd many times
Review: Way better than soaking reeds - I prefer these to traditional reeds any day. I'm lazy and don't like soaking reeds and even going through the prep process before using them, so these have been a lifesaver. I also like the sound and tone that are produces from these over regular reeds. I will be buying these again, as the plastic does wear off, but they still last longer and break less than traditional ones, in my experience.
